Welcome to Taste and See God's Goodness. I'm Marsha and I just turned 40 last month. So I think a little partying is in order, don't you? I made a pan of Hot Fudge Cake just for my party guests! Looks like some of you have already dug in!
I love to cook, which is really why I started to blog. Friends and family were asking me for recipes, so I decided to put them all in one place so everyone could access them.
Here are a few of my family's favorite recipes:
Honey Bun Cake
Homemade Chicken Nuggets
Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks
I also love being a wife and mom. My husband and I have been married for 11 years and it just keeps getting better. My son, Mr. Lego, is nine. He is an avid reader and Lego builder, as well as a Mario Kart enthusiast. My daughter, the Princess, is seven. She wants to be a princess, a ballerina, and a paleontologist when she grows up! Ambitious, isn't she?
A former classroom teacher, I now teach my children at home. And I love it! Occasionally I'll share our homeschool adventures with you.
More important than all of this, though, is my walk with the Lord. I can't be a great wife, mother, or teacher if I'm out of step with Him. Sometimes I'll share what God has been doing in my life. I love to talk about His grace and mercy, none of which I deserve. And I just love meeting fellow believers and expanding my "family."
So take a look around and feel free to comment. I can't wait to meet some new friends!
Oh, one more thing. Doesn't a party almost always include presents? Well, there are some fabulous prizes being given away this year! Check them out here.
If I were to win, my top three picks would be:
#8 under the US and Canada category, a $55 Amazon gift certificate provided by Kelly's Lucky You ;
And from the US only category, #8, a Buds to Blooms Photo Tile Necklace provided by Elemental Memories
and # 3, a $150 shopping spree at A Rocking Horse to Love.
If my top three picks are chosen, I'd like to win 50, 63, 76, 73, 15, 87, or 89.
I stumbled across your blog and wanted to say hi.
